Building Trust

Creating Open, Honest Relationships

For instance, can you imagine being a firefighter, and not being
able to trust other firefighters on your team? Or, a doctor, and
not being able to trust certain nurses or physicians in the
emergency room?

People who have jobs like this need to be able to trust the
people they work with. Without that trust, lives can, and likely
will, be lost.

When you trust the people you work with and do business with,
you can work together seamlessly. You're more effective; you're
happy to take worthwhile risks; and you can work securely, knowing
that your co-workers will support you – just as you will
support them.

In this article we're looking at trust – what it is, why
it's important, and how you can develop it. We'll also explore what
you can do to rebuild trust if it's been lost.
